Chapter 289 The Third Sino-Japanese War(2/2)
Arranged, its overall army is suitable for combat on the Korean Peninsula.
Regarding this situation, Song Biao and the Central Military Department have a relatively sufficient estimate. If the Chinese and Japanese armies want to open up the gap on the Korean Peninsula, they will basically have to wait until three months later.
Times are different, the army is different, the equipment is different, the tactical ideas and military personnel configuration are also different.
Different eras need to fight different wars. If you have to be as arrogant and impatient as the US military in the Korean War, you can't wait to defeat the Japanese army in one month, and the Chinese team will definitely suffer the loss in the end.
For the Central Military Department of the Imperial Army, the most important thing at the moment is not to immediately organize a full-scale attack on the Korean Peninsula, but to shrink the defense line, accelerate domestic mobilization and military allocation, and strive to launch a real large-scale offensive in three months.
In the middle, it was forced to retreat at a large distance due to the crazy offensive of the Japanese Army, which is acceptable.
Song Biao was a pure military commander. Without strict political considerations, his only goal of commanding operations was to achieve final victory. He also completely annihilated the enemy and essentially eliminated the opponent's military vital forces and elite personnel.
Therefore, it is acceptable to have a certain scale of retreat and self-protection in the early stages of the Korean Peninsula. Moreover, allowing the Japanese army to lengthen the supply line will also help the Central Defense Forces to give full play to the advantages of the air force and create better conditions for subsequent counterattacks and encirclements.
When fighting, the commander must be flexible.
You can't fight a war with a stubborn mind.
Of course. To fight a full-scale war with Japan on the Korean Peninsula, the first thing to do is to select the person in charge of the front line. From ability to reputation, the truly qualified candidates are Chen Qicai, Zhang Xiaohuai, Zhao Tingzhu, Zhang Yahu, Liu Gengyun
, Zhang Hongkui, Cai E, and Fu Liangzuo, can actually win anyone who chooses. The key is the strategic decision-making needs.
The third Sino-Japanese War is different from the second Sino-Japanese War. The last time, we should quickly annihilate the main force of our opponents at all costs and losses. We should fight a maneuver to win time, a fast and rapid annihilation war, and we should
This time, it is different to avoid the expansion and long-term war with a final say. This time, the Sino-Japanese War should be a strategic annihilation war with consumption as the main goal.
The length of time is not important. What is important is to completely drag down the opponent, rather than quickly defeat the opponent. Because this war must be fought to the Japanese mainland before the final outcome can be decided. There is no doubt that as much as possible overseas
The most powerful strategy is to exhaust Japan's war potential first. When it is over, then carry out the local decisive battle in Japan. This is the best strategy.
This battle cannot be stingy with the cost and military expenditures. Japan, which will be fought in one battle, cannot turn over for a century.
After the battle, there will be war claims, which will be consumed slowly and for a long time. There will be no problem in spending two or three years.
From this strategic perspective, Zhao Tingzhu, Zhang Yahu, Fu Liangzuo's group of impatient and dominant generals who emphasize mechanization are definitely not suitable. After several choices, Song Biao chose to let Cai E as the commander-in-chief of the front line, Liu Gengyun as the chief of staff of the front line, Shu
Fang De went to the front line to serve as the head teacher.
Shu Fangde's biggest advantage is that he understands the Air Force and is very familiar with the senior generals on the Air Force. Demobilizing the rank of Air Force General is also conducive to the front-line command to suppress Japan with the Air Force as the main force.
Song Biao has wanted Cai E to be responsible for commanding the Korean battlefield for a long time, because Cai E is the kind of bold and meticulous person. Among the current group of army generals, he is the least military.
The serious one is not as impatient as Zhang Yahu.
Cai E’s shortcomings are that he lacks a very in-depth understanding of modern mechanization, but on the Korean battlefield, this shortcomings are not very powerful, and it is also made up for by Liu Gengyun, the academician who has the most in-depth research on mechanization.
In the two years since the military rank was restored, Cai E has been the Minister of the Logistics Department, mainly responsible for logistics work. It was basically the end of last year that he realized that he might go to war again. In the first half of the year, he had been with Liu Gengyun under the arrangement of the Central Military Department.
Research in North Korea.
In other words, Song Biao had basically considered the partnership between Cai E and Liu Gengyun at the beginning of the year.
Both of them are currently in Dandong, so they can just take office directly.
The military talents of these two are not particularly good, but they are very powerful. They have drawn the past commanders, division commanders, and brigade commanders from the army, all of which are famous generals of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Even if many of them are not familiar to everyone,
But they are also very military talents.
The imperial military education is definitely second to none around the world, and talent is never a problem.
